What would you do if you found a bug? I would find out if it works or if it's just a little paranoia machine. How was it found? In a routine sweep? How often do they sweep? Who found it? The housekeeper? Or did the wall socket stop working and the electrician find it?

Too many questions. Something seems bogus.
